Deolo, also spelt Dello, is a low-lying hill in West Bengal. At a height of 1914 m and 6 km away from Kalimpong, it is a getaway from that city amidst majestic mountains. Deolo sits atop a picturesque landscape overlooking the Teesta Valley and has one of the best views of the Kangchenjunga range.
Maintained by the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council. The property sits atop the Deolo Hill, with a beautifully maintained garden, secluded from the world. The best 360-degree view of the Kanchecjunga range is available from the property. There are only 13 rooms at the lodge, and you should look for a booking at least 20-30 days in advance (in season) or 5-10 days in advance (at other times). Advance booking may be done online, or from Kolkata, Siliguri, Darjeeling and Kalimpong.
About 1 km from the Deolo Tourist Lodge, this hotel is situated near the Science City. It allows the visitors a short walk to the Deolo Tourist Lodge gardens, as well as offers a majestic view of the Kangchenjunga. Booking in advance is recommended.
About 3 km from the Deolo Tourist Lodge, this resort is situated at 14th Mile, Dara Gaon, Upper Echhey, Kalimpong. Offers a nice view of Kanchenjunga from the rooms as well as from the terrace. Booking in advance is recommended.
A casual evening stroll is what it takes to cover Deolo. Tourists mostly take a walk in and around the Govt. Guest House (of DGHC) compound, or a short horseback ride nearby.
